Guidelines for using library buildings and resources
GW Libraries collects websites affiliated with the university as part of our mission to serve as the official repository for records of the George Washington University. Members of the GW community can request university-affiliated websites, including those of official departments, student groups, and programming, be archived. For more information on websites accepted by GW’s Archiving Program, please refer to our Collection Development Policy.
To request multiple websites be archived, or to schedule subsequent crawls, please contact webarchive@gwu.edu.
